 * Should I be pulling [MkDocs under the "Encode" umbrella][7]?
 * How can I be help maintain Django REST framework better, given that I'm spending a lot of in-depth time on HTTPX. Could the docs do with a refresh? Could we be more efficient by converting it to some of the structures and automations we've been learning from in other Encode projects?
 
+## Weeknotes: Friday 23rd July, 2021.
+
+I've been working again on the revised HTTPCore, with a pull requests that [integrates it with HTTPX][8].
+
+The bits of this that I've been particularly pleased with:
+
+* 100% code coverage for the test cases, excepting a couple of awkward-to-test lines that I've excluded. I find that having an enforced metric as part of the CI is enormously helpful. I don't much enjoy working on project that don't have this, except sometimes in the very earliest stages of development.
+* Being able to finesse the network backends, and start to get them into shape where they can eventually be public API.
+
+On the flip side, I'm somewhat reconsidering what the actual priorities for HTTPX ought to be right now. There's very little reason that we shouldn't be promoting the library to a 1.0 version right now, in order to indicate API stability. Or at least determining if that are any blockers to prevent us from doing so.
+
+We should probably also be prioritizing getting HTTPX listed on the official Python documentation.
+
+The rejigging of HTTPCore *could* be something that occurs on the *other* side of both those two tasks.
